'COOKING AND HEATING STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,921, dated. December 12, 1882.

Application filed Septemher11,1BB2. No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that LFRANK METZNER, ofGhicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in (looking and Heating Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to ranges and cookingstoves that at the same time are used as heatin g-stoves and it is my object to construct such a range that has two fire-places--one for summer and the other one for winter use.

In the accompanyingdrawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved range and heating-stove. Fig. 2 is a plan view of my improved range and heating-stove with the top plate removed Fig. 3, asectional plan on line at .70, Fig. 4, a planof the lower or summer grate; Fig. 5, a plan of the top cover to the smoke-flue; Fig. 6, a longitudinal vertical section of the range on line yy; Fig. 7, asimilar section on line 2 a; Fig. 2a, a vertical crosssection on line i: c; Fig. 9, a similar section on line w w,- Fig. 10, a longitudinal section and side elevation of the automatic watersupply valve Fig. 11, a detached view of the waterback and circulating-pipes, and Fig.1.? an elevation and section of thereflector-plate.

Corresponding letters in the several figures of the'drawings designate like parts.

A denotes the grate for winter use; a, the fuel-door; B, the ash pit, and b the door for same.

0 is the grate for summer use, which is made somewhat of the shape of a common fire-place grate, and is removable, to be taken out in the To the rear of this grate O is H is an oven for baking.

In the wintertime the grate C and reflectorplatef are removed, and fire is kindled upon grate A, when the gases are directed by the partition g to rearward, will thence turn and pass under the cooking-plate F, thence through an opening in partition it into flue t' whence the gases may either pass direct through fine 70 into and through smoke-flue Z, or when clos ing the valves m and m, by means of their exterior cranks, the gases will be directed to pass through flues m a it around the bake-oven H.

For summer use the grate G and reflectorplatef are inserted, when the heat of the fire on such grate is more confined in such stove,

and the gases have a much shorter distance to .travel. A cap, 0, will close the top of hue K,

which, when removed, gives admittance to the valves m and m.. This cap 0 can be reached throughan opening in top plate, J, of the stove that is closed by a cover, I.

K is a chamber for warming plates or for keeping viands warm. 1

An elbow-pipe, L, is placed through the stove one end of which reaches through the end wall, 19, and the other end through the upper plate, q, for admitting a current of fresh air into the chamber between plates q and J, which air, after being heated, will escape through nozzles V into the kitchen, or it may be conducted through a pipe into another room to be heated.

Vents r are for cleaning the fines, and register 8 for admitting air into the combustionchamber.

M is a water-vessel, attached to the rear of the furnace; and'N another water-vessel, placed in the chamber between plates q and J, and vessels M and Ncommunicate through a pipe, 0.

P is the water supply pipe that leads into the vessel N, and to whichis coupled the pipe 61 ot the water back D, while the pipe 0 connects with the vessel M. The pipe P has a valve, Q, that has a crank, to which is suspended a float, a, that extends into the vessel N, for regulating the supply of water to keep the vessels filled to a certain point.

It is a faucet for drawing off hot water from "essel M as it is required.

The vessel N, after being nearly filled with water, will discharge into vessel M through pipe 0, and as soon as the water rises to a certain V supply and will open again the valve Q autoing that is closed by its hermetically fitting lid U.

In this stove, as will be noticed, every important object is attained. In the winter time the waste heat is made useful for heating purposes, and in the summer time the stove can radiate but very little heat, since the heated surfaces are inclosed. Besides that, this stove gives facilities for cooking, baking, and warming, and for heating water. Theevaporation of the water in tank N will mix with the heated air that escapes through nozzles V, and thus will impregnate such air with sufficient moisture to make it healthful to he breathed.

The lower end of pipe L can be extended through the wall of the building to draw in fresh air from out-doors that is to be heated.

I am aware that ranges have been constructed with auxiliary fire -pots and ash pits, and that other rangesha've been constructed with a plate at the rear of thecombustion-chamber, for the purpose of contracting thespace th'ere-' in, and provided at-either end with a plate for deflecting the currents of heated 'air-,a'udsuch' I do not claim.

What I claim is- 1. Ina range, the grate A and ash-pit B, in combination with the auxiliary removable grate (J, and the removable reflector plate f,

arranged above and diagonally across said grate U, and forming a partition between said grate O and the cooking-plate F, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In a range, the longitudinal partition g, transverse partition 2', and horizontal partition (1, the'top plate, J,with air-nozzles V, grate A, with ash-pit B, cooking-plate F, with auxiliary grate O, and removable reflector plate f, the whole being constructed, combined, and arranged substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

3. In a range, the grate A, cooking-plate F, flues t, K, a, n, 02 and l,with valves m and m,

chamber G, bake-oven H, and chamber K, in

combination with the auxiliary grate G and removable reflector plate f, all substantially as andfor the purpose set forth.

4. In a range,substantiall y asd-escribed, and in combination with the grate G, the waterback D, pipes c and d, water-vesselsM and N, connecting-pipe O, and water supply pipe 1?, with float-valves Q, all arranged as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention Iaftix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
